Week One Meal Planner – red lentils, chick peas & bacon

As at 1st November 2017, you will need £14.43 in your purse at the checkout, but the amount of food actually consumed (if you follow the plan fully) comes to £12.68 – just over 90p per person, per day.

This plan was first written in Jun 2013, and now, over 4 years later, I’m delighted that it still adds up and that you can still eat for (even less than ) £1 a day

The column headed ‘left at the end of the week’ is what you can expect to have left in the cupboard. You can carry that over to next week, or use it for snacks etc, as you wish.

Use the Cakes and Bakes at any point during the week when you need them, as an extra at lunch, a pudding after dinner, for supper, or any other hungry moment. Or if you and the 2nd person you are feeding don’t need this many calories, healthwise, these would probably be the best things to leave out (speaking as a sweet thing lover – sorry 🙁 Or how about a good old British compromise, make them and make them stretch over a longer period of time 😉
